Christmas 2019

We had such a great Christmas!   Grammy and PawPaw were at our house and we made so many memories!  They got to have an Arkansas Christmas!  And we got to enjoy them for a week!  I am so thankful that they celebrated with us this year!

Let's Bake!

Christmas Cookie Baking was so fun!   Here is Mia's action shot!

Last Cheer Competition. 2019

The FJHS cheer competition season was full of  lots of learning opportunities!  Ansley was on the comp. team all season and continues to grow and LOVE the sport.  Mia was pulled up to the comp team due to another cheerleader being injured.  She worked hard, learned so much and competed in one compettiton.  She continued to attend EVERY practice and cheered for her team througout the rest of the comp season.   She learned how to encourage her team even when she was disappointed.  The character this girl has is inspiring!  Her heart is made up of loving others and her work ethic is unstoppable.   Our last compitition was at BHS and our girls did great!  They got 1st place !  Such a fun way to close Ansley's 8th grade season!  Then on to Basketball!

Thanksgiving Week!

We had SO much fun visiting Nanny at the beginning of Thanksgiving week.  We did all the things in Aiken, then headed to Charleston for a day!  We had beautiful weather and such a great visit!  We love and miss her!

We then headed to Knoxville for the Sharpless Thanksgiving.  I apparently left my camera in the car, because there wasn't on photo on it!  Good thing I grabbed my phone for a few pictures!

Christmas Prep!

It is always fun decorating and preparing for Christmas!  This year with only 3 weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas it was a mad dash of shoping, baking and Christmas Card making!   All of this BEFORE our Thanksgiving Travels!

Operation Christmas Child

I LOVE that this is one of our favorite Christmas traditions!  It is so much fun, packing a shoe box, and praying for the reciepent.  I know God has the perfect child already chosen to recieve our boxes.   

Comfy

These were the trend this winter!  The girls have barley taken them off all season!  A blanket that you wear!  Who needs one???

Sniff!

It has been FOREVER since I have updated the blog.  I hate that this stage of life isn't being documented.  This is the first picture where I left off after Holly Ball.  Poor little fella.  I don't think I realized how old he really was.  Looking back on this picture hurts my heart.  I hope he is chasing a little red tennis ball in the fields of heaven!  We miss our Cub-a lou!
